ONE OF TIME’S TEN MOST IMPORTANT NONFICTION BOOKS OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY

In the searing pages of this classic autobiography, originally published in 1964, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and anti-integrationist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Black Muslim movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American Dream, and the inherent racism in a society that denies its nonwhite citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time. The Autobiography of Malcolm X stands as the definitive statement of a movement and a man whose work was never completed but whose message is timeless. It is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand America.

Praise for The Autobiography of Malcolm X

“Extraordinary . . . a brilliant, painful, important book.”The New York Times

“This book will have a permanent place in the literature of the Afro-American struggle.”—I. F. Stone

    Not sure where to begin, but I’ll say that it’s a must read. I initially downloaded the book and begin reading it and then I bought the hard copy to annotate more in it. This literary piece is full of insight of America and the modern world as we know through the lens of someone who came from the bottom to awaken by the very power of Allah to metamorph into a prominent Historical figure of the 20th Century. His awakening is one relative to the Black men of today whom life’s value to yield jewels some 60 years later. I love seeing the Malcolm before and after transformation from the bottom to becoming his highest self able to be pure and selfless which are attributes missing from the modern people these days.

    It this book doesn’t change your life it should, at the very least, change whatever you think you know about Malcolm X.

    This was one of the most engaging books that I have read in a long while. The book brings profound perspective of the Black American community that one can learn from and it is a great story of how deep conviction can reverberate and transform others.

    Very few books can have you go on an emotional journey of a man who has been deceased for almost 60 years and still feel as though he is still with us today. A man who had went through a metamorphosis in a time where black men were not allowed to mature and evolve let alone were viewed as human beings. Malcolm defied the propaganda of black men with his high level of intelligence and discipline. Malcolm your journey was short and had its ups and downs but it was a beautiful journey nonetheless! Thank you Malcolm! We as a people are proud of you around the world. You have touched many lives including myself. You have taught me that life is about taking risk and that change is incumbent as a human if one wants to esteem to reach the highest point of human achievement: Spiritual Victory! Once again thank you El-Hajj-Malik-El-Shabazz

    This book shows the struggle of a black man beaten down by his own society over and over again. A book like this should be mandatory in all schools.
